i've seen the following in a program:

while(waitpid(-1, NULL, WNOHANG) > 0);

my compiler gives me error here, WNOHANG is undeclared. can anyone tell me in which header it is declared?

Hi
because it's a defined number or a const variable, so you must define or declared it before using it.

Hi,

Try sys/wait.h and on solaris I see sys/wait.h included in stdlib.h as well.

Just to let you know that line of code is quite normal in a program which creates many child processes to take care of zombie processes.

Does pids even exist in windows?
Ofcourse they do...

Try searching all header files for WNOHANG.

searching done. but there is no WNOHANG defined anywhere! my compiler is dev c++. is there any alternative?

Does it compile? Did you write the code yourself? (I suspects the answear to be no on both questions, but better to be sure)

DJGPP, and MinGW seems to be gcc implementations on windows, so it they could maybe help...

hey , waitpid does not work on Windows platform, it does not support Linux/Unix type of processes.
